can anyone tell me how to mount my d:\ or e:\ drives under
my root directory / ?
I've seen examples of how to do this...I believe it's called
and 'identity' mount.
I tried these ways but
mount d:\ /d
mount d:\ /cygdrive/d
and also with different combinations of flags in other attempts
like -f -s -b -t -u
Every time the usage instructions for mount are displayed and then
when I view the mount table, nothing has changed.
I Just see /usr/bin /usr/lib and /
Strange to me though is the fact that I simply did a cd d:
and 'pwd' showed /cygdrive/d
I could do this for any of the drives on my computer e: f: g: h:
each seen with pwd as /cygdrive/<drive letter>
Why is this? Does it mean that there's no need to perform a mount?
Why do I need mount then? I would like be able to just do a cd /d
or cd /e from the bash.exe$ prompt.
If I want directories to appear under my root / or /usr then I should
just use a hard link?
I thought mount was to make other drives/devices appear as subdirectories
of a mount point. Could it be that all of my drives are on the same hard
disk
device? They are just separate partitions on the same disk.
thanks,
/dAVe
